Traffic stop leads to illegal gun, drugs and three arrests

Police charged two 24-year old men and a 29-year-old woman, when officers found a plastic bag of drugs in a Dover traffic stop, and one of the men then tried to flee and dropped a loaded gun.

Caleb Ford of Frederica was driving when he was pulled over in Rodney Village at 9 p.m. Monday for an equipment violation, Master Cpl. Melissa Jaffe of the Delaware State Police said. Troopers saw in plain view a plastic sandwich bag of 4.72 grams of marijuana and instructed Ford, Alicia Young, of Dover, and Dasmen Fullman, of Dover out of the car.
